Abstract

The presence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in retail cheeses from Greece and the Czech Republic is investigated. Consumption of these cheeses is likely to result in human exposure to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, albeit at a low level for viable cells, as 31.7% and 3.6% of the samples reacted positive by PCR and culture, respectively.
